ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

Shipping bureau issues standards for floating nuclear plants
A comprehensive set of standards for floating nuclear power plants, Requirements for Nuclear Power Systems for Marine and Offshore Applications, has been released by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). According to the document, which is the first of its kind for floating power plants, the standards have been “developed for classification requirements specific to design, construction, and survey of vessels fitted with nuclear power systems whose generated power is transferred or distributed to onboard industrial or adjacent facilities.”

Evolving Paradigms in Nuclear Fuel Management: Powering Future Generations
Clearwater Beach, FL|Sheraton Sand Key Resort
It has been eight years since the last ANFM meeting. Since then, nuclear fuel management has changed significantly with the introduction of new fuel designs, advanced technology fuel (ATF), and longer cycle lengths. In the near future, we will see increased enrichments and increased burnup limits in light water reactors (LWRs). In addition, many new advanced reactor concepts are being planned that will require economical fuel cycles and the introduction of new fuel types. On top of this, machine learning and artificial intelligence applications loom on the horizon with the promise of increased efficiency. Join us in sunny Clearwater Beach as international representatives from fuel vendors, utilities, support organizations, national laboratories, and universities get together to share and discuss the latest developments in nuclear fuel management. The conference will include plenary sessions, technical sessions, panel sessions, and workshops.
